[Bengals] Now Chad Johnson Wants To Play For Panthers?

Perennial Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals told WFNZ-AM's Mark Packer that he'd love a chance to play for the Panthers. "Definitely," Johnson told the radio station at the Super Bowl. The man who calls himself "Ocho Cinco" went on to say of being reunited with former junior college teammate and current Panthers star receiver Steve Smith, "Hey, (numbers) 89 and 85 equals Super Bowl." It's no secret Johnson wants out of Cincinnati. He made the rounds up and down radio row in Phoenix, telling radio personalities from across the country that he'd love to bring his game to their city.

they would still need a qualified QB....

Would be nice to see Ocho Cinco line up on the other side of Steve Smith. If Dwayne Jarret can turn into a solid receiver, the Panthers receiving group would be pretty good, I'd say. However, I don't know how long Delhomme will be around.

I'd cry...

I wouldn't worry too much if I were a Falcons fan and this happened... They have no-one to throw the ball to him.

But if they did sort out their QB problems... Boy that'd be harsh on ATL, TB and NO.

Vinny Testerverde would probably be able to throw for 3,500-4000 yards with those two!

And they will probably take someone in the draft.

Thing is.....there's a good QB in Cincy that does throw CJ the ball....often....what has that got the Bengals?

umm no he wouldnt....he would need the mythbusters to help him get a surgically replaced titanium re-enforced arm that can throw more than 20 yards.

He could however on every 3rd and long play, throw a quick pass to the sideline to either chad johnson or steve smith and then let them throw it deep to the other WR.

In the end Steve Smith and Chad Johnson will combine for more passing yards than Vinny

figure of speech - i was just saying that you don't need a stud QB i nthat offense in order to throw for a helluva lot of yards, when e is throwing to probably 2 of the top 5 WR's in the league

yea i know, i just wanted to crack a couple jokes
